After two periods of play in the gold medal contest, neither team is showing any sign of slowing down.

Canada capitalized on an early power play to tie the game at 1-1, but the United States responded with two tallies of its own. 

American goalie Griffin Lamarre, in his third-ever Paralympic start, stood on his head during the middle frame, making several last-second superhuman saves to protect the United States' lead.

Through 30 minutes of play, the United States leads the shot count 17-11.
